LAS CRUCES - A man suspected of stabbing a friend during an physical confrontation Saturday evening has been arrested, police said.

Isaac Avalos, 23, has been charged with one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, a third-degree felony, according to the Las Cruces Police Department.

The charge stemmed from an incident in the 1900 block of Wyoming Avenue. Investigators said Avalos was at friend's home when he became upset he could not find any beer in the kitchen. He reportedly became upset when he learned they already drank all the beer.

Investigators learned that Avalos and the friend began arguing before the confrontation became physical. After a few minutes of fighting, Avalos allegedly grabbed a large kitchen knife and started swinging it back and forth at his friend.

The friend received multiple stab wounds and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. His injuries were not life-threatening.

Avalos left the apartment but was located by police later Saturday evening. He was arrested and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center where he’s initially being held without bond, pending arraignment.
